Summary
Author and Relationship Expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip joins me to unpack the invisible load we carry in relationships—why emotional and mental labor often falls on one partner, and how to create more balance without resentment. We also talk about how relationship needs shift from dating to marriage, how to spot self-sabotage, and why independence can be hard to let go of in your first serious relationship in your 30s. Whether you’re single, dating, or deep in a long-term relationship, this episode will make you feel seen.
